Brief Introduction to
Wuyi Rock Oolong
(Wuyi Yan Cha)
Wuyi oolong teas are sometimes called “rock teas” (literally as Yan Cha) because of the distinctive terroir of the mountainsides where they are grown. Tea grown in the rocky, mineral-rich soil is highly prized. Because of the lower yield produced by tea bushes in such terrain, the resulting tea can be quite costly. Tea made from the leaves of older bushes is particularly expensive and limited in quantity. Da Hong Pao, collected from what are said to be the original bushes of its variety, is among the most expensive teas in the world, and more valuable by weight than gold.
According to the current national standard, being bred and planted in the natural ecological environment of Mountains Wuyi, Wuyi rock tea falls into the category of Oolong tea produced with unique traditional processing techniques (shape of tea stripe) with rock charm. As a renowned tea it is under the protection of products of origin by Chinese government.
